You should check out Davidsen's - it's the best right now, IMO.

DSN's ultimate fiddy

NB: for this link to work you need to be a member of the other board.

This is not DSN's - but I spent more 3x DSN's price to get it like DSN's! (bought over a year ago, then having to modd it w/ DSN's AR crystal, pin fix, 0117 case, E movement ....)

Davidsen's?

Not a clever thing to do. VDB is an OK dude - but you're asking for it posting a 0581 case + that colour lume over there.

Lurking is OK (and a great way to learn more about PAMs) - even a comment (not on reps) is OK, but pics ....

Some there do crossover to the dark side also ...

you are in luck bud,look here(have a great strap included already)

from what ive heard he's a great guy. hope this helps cheers!

That's a great deal, $300+ watch + straps worth about the same. The GeF is worth $170 alone.

Most definitely! I like the look and it keeps the CG on the inside, less obtrusive

You can do it. My wrists are around 7.5"

Sehr schöne Rolli. Dieses ist meins:

Hey rolli,

Sehr schöne 172. Think I have the same one myself

GruB - BBB

I think this one is mine (from my 187) and I'm so glad I sent it up to Rob for this - apparent now - much needed TLC.

I also like to know what's going on inside, so double bonus that I have Rob's analysis - thanks mate!

Great combo TTK. As soon as mine arrived - 2 weeks ago - I took off the strap and replaced it with a MF 1942 that was distressed:

Metal and leather rock :thumbup: .. that's why prestige cars combine so many materials today. As for wearing my 187 all the time - can't do that, too much 'bling' for work ...

Great project. How do you intend to age the lume / dial / hands - or do we have to wait?

Very nice project(s) CJ...

Can't wait for number #3

#1 is a Destro - unlike the MM in the poster - really nice.

#3 will be phuckin' amazing - but I am sworn to secrecy.

enzo and CJ are mad-as-hatters on these projects, but there's something beautiful therein

Good stuff. I'm thinking about yellow b/ball for my 111H. Anyone got pics of that?

On some of the Panerai forums I've seen it referred to as "that watch that cannot be named".

Just out of curiosity, what's the ballpark market rate for one of these.

Lovely. Ballpark should be $900 - 1k.

Some posters reckon this does the trick (more sophisticated ball + vacuum effect), but I haven't tried one yet:

Note to self:

Do not open Sgl's threads when fiance is in the same room, or in the vicinity.

LMAO!!! Yeah, I must do the same w/ my wife - but these are awseome pics, you're a lucky bloke, Sgl!!

My 28a hobnail dial will be going for PVD next week - got myself a nice nubuck vintage military strap with PVD buckle fitted (for only $59) from Smat over in Thailand. Really good value for money and I think will compliment this nicely.

Actually Smat has a nice range of PVD buckled straps in 24/24 - and nicely made too. I hope Smat won't mind me showing pics of the strap he has sent me fitted to his own watch.

I really like that second strap from SMAT - and great price!

ps it's "complEment" with an 'e' - the 'i' version is to praise - your friendly Word-Nazi (sorry!)

I just got the same watch: EL only has 1 231c model as far as I know - I say this because I didn't think it was sapphire+AR (not at that price), but if I'm wrong that would be great....

Did he offer you 2 versions? (a CN and a Swiss w/ AR etc - that's what Josh has going on these).

Also,. I assume you swapped out the strap as mine came w/ burgundy croc....

Well, RWG was my intro to rep-aholicism , so with the melt-down I'm happy to be in the first 1,000 in this new venture. May it prosper, be cool, empathetic, engaged [in this great hobby] and above all, happy.

Thanks to all those who were responsible for this new abode.

Cheers, mates!
